GREEN PORT HULL


Malcolm Turner, owner of Turner Timber Frames, explains: “We gained funding through the Green Port Growth Programme to boost our marketing efforts, enabling us to launch a website and print some literature, to showcase what we do. This was followed up with advice on how to access supply chain opportunities, resulting in a direct introduction to Siemens. Green Port Hull put our name forward to them, as they were aware of our design, engineering and manufacturing skills.


“Going forward we hope to work with Siemens to maintain and adapt the platforms to match


the needs of Siemens in this innovative field. It may be we look to have dedicated members of staff for this role as it develops.”


LOCAL CONTENT


Anthony Granville, Siemens Hull Senior Project Manager, said: “We have said consistently that we are committed to using local suppliers, wherever possible, and this is another example of delivering on this pledge. We’re delighted that a small, family business, based so close to the blade factory site on Alexandra Dock, has won a valuable contract to be part of both our training programmes and production operations.”


A team from Turner Timber Frames visited the Siemens blade factory in Aalborg, Denmark, to see the wooden platforms in action in order to recreate the design back in the UK. Working closely with Siemens and the supplier in Aalborg – who had previously installed 70 of this type of platform – the team at Turner Timber Frames was able to clone the product.
